Waupaca, Wia, Oct. 9.—One of the most flaring murders and bank-robberies ever perpetrated in Wisconsin occurred in this city Saturday night, the victim being IL C. Mead, a wealthy banker who has done business in this city for the past thirty years. Mr Mead was a bachelor, nearly 00 years old, of eccentric habits. He has used his bank as a sleeping-room, and taken his meals at a hotel. He did not come to breakfast Sunday morning, but nothing was thought of’ it, as such a thing frequently happened; hut when the dinner hour had passed and he had not made his appearance i messenger from the hotel was dispatched te the bank to learn the reason. Repeated Knocks at the door brought no response, and the back window was resorted to. The wire screen had been cut out and the upper sash lowered. On the floor within lay the body of the banker. Blood was spattered on the walls and there was » large pool on the floor. The news of the murder spread like wildfire. The proper Authorities impaneled a coroner's jury, which investigated the case. The deceared came to his death from the effects of a gun-shot wound fired from the rear window of the bank by unknown hands. He was sitting at a small table in the back room, writing. He evidently heard the noise from the window, And upon turning around in that direction received a full charge of shot from both barrels of the gun, completely tearing the nose eves, and part of the brain from the beat! The assassin or assassins then climbed through the window, went to the safe, which was still unlocked, and rifled the money chest, taking several thousand dollars in currency, gold, and bonds. The night was a stormy one, well chosen for meh a deed. There is no clew to the p«n>etratora The amount ol money obtained by tne murderers of Mead was SS34. One package of notes was found in an alley behind the bank, and another on a road outside the village The rewards offered for the apprehension of the murderers aggregate $2,000 “Yes,” said the gilded youth of his friend. “Jack has a passion for pro posing to girls. Why, I’ve known of his proposing to six girls in a week, not one of whom he’d marry for a farm. “Doesn’t he run a terrible risk of be ng accepted by somebody be doesn’t want ?” “Not a bit. He isn’t worth a dollar!”— Benton I’ost. Describing a flea in the land ot tlia Pharaohs, an Egyptian correspondent savs: This bird grows to a monstrous size here, and he is wonderfully plentiful. He carries a biting apparatus with him that is a good deal like a two-inch anger, and makes a hole in you straight to bed rock, like an artesian well, only not so comfortable.

DYING FOR HIS CRIME. A Horrible Lynching Affair at Evansville, Tnd. Hume Redman, an Ex-Conviot, who Brutal! >, Killed His Wlfqj Summarily Dlsuatched by an Arnuxi Mob. Evansville,lnd,Oct. 11.—Hume Redman, the wife murderer, was forcibly taken from the jail at an early hour this morning by an armed mob and slain. On the night of the 6th inst. the neighbors of Hume Redman, whose home was about three miles northwest of Mount Vernon, heard loud cries of “Mercy!" “ForGod’s sake, don't kill me!" and at the same time heard sounds of blows being struck, and shortly after a pistol was fired off. Several of the neighbors went over to the house and found Redmond’s wife lying upon the floor about two feet from the tfoor in a dying condition, weltering in her bHocl Medical aid was summoned, but by the time the doctor arrived the woman was dead. The Coroner was notified, and upon examination the woman was found to have been terribly beaten, her body being covered with bruises from kicks and blows. The pistol ball entered her head just behind the left ear. It is supposed that while she was being beaten oy the brute she managed to get away from him and started for the door, when he shot her down. She was aliout nineteen years of age and was enciente at the time of her death. Redman was arrested and placed in the Mount Vernon jail. A mob was organized to hang him, and on learning of this the Posey county officials determined to take Redmond to Evansville. When it was l' # med that he had been taken from the Mount Vernon jail to be sent off a mob started for the depot after him, but the train pulled out just before they reached there. Redman was released from the Joliet (Ill.) Penitentiary about a year ago, having served out a sentence of eight years for shooting a man. The first intimation of the disturbance which resulted in Redman’s death was received by Night Turnkey Hatmacher at the jail at 2:l(t this morning. At that hour a communication was received by him through the telephone from Ullmer’s brewery that a masked mob had passed up the street. The turnkey immediately notified Newitt, who l hastened to the jail. Hatmacher, after notifying Newitt. went to the Sheriff's residence to give the alarm. Sheriff Kerth and Deputies Maunteland Martin and Tom Kerth, Jr., were on the alert, prepared to defend the jail and the prisoner. Newitt soon arrived and went into the clerk's office to telephone for assistance. He heard the clattering of the horses’ hoofs coming up the bouldered streets and hurried back into tha jail. Sheriff Kerth was at the front door of the Court House w'hen the mob arrived. The mob dismounted, picketed their animals, left a guard to cover their retreat, and captured all the citizens who happened to be attracted to the scene, while a portion of the mob made a dive for the jail. Kerth fired at them, but they did not falter. They took him a prisoner, and were into the jail yard in a jiffy. Two blows were sufficient to break in the outside wooden door, and the mob was in the jail hall. Newitt, Martin and Tom Kerth. Jr., opened up a brisk fire, which was responded to by the mob, who poured a fusilade through the door. Chisels’ and sledge-hammers were soon brought and willing hands went to work, and in a twinkling the jail door was open. Newitt ran back to Redman's cell and said to him ‘ I have done all I could for you; they will get you. And he replied. “Give me a revolver and I will kill some of them.” When the jail door was opened the mob rushed through the corridor to Redman’s cell, and in a minute it was opened .and Redman in their hands. They tied his hands with a strong rope and led him out. The officers all this time were trying to escape from jail and get assistance so as to capture the mob, or some of them. Newitt managed to get into the Sheriff’s residence and run up-stairs to the front window, which he opened and blew his whistle. Then the mob followed him and threw him down stairs. When he got up the mob were bringing Redman out of she front door. They were ordered to halt, when their leader replied: “We are from Posey county, and I came after Redman, and we are going to have him.” An alarm of fire having been given out in ' the city, the chemical engine came rapidly up the"street, and. striking the buggy into which the mob had placed Redman, overturned it. This threw the mob into some disorder, when one of the leaders said: “Put him on horseback.” This order was countermanded, and orders were given to kill him on the spot. One of the band seized a sledge-hammer and dealt Redman a powerful blow on the head, felling him to the ground. At this point Chief of Police Pritchell arrived on the scene. One of the mob ran up to him and said: “Go away from here. Pritchell; we don’t want to kill you,” at the same time snapping a revolver in his face, but his hand was knocked up in the • - before the weapon was discharged. By this time several officers were on the ground, who, without the orders of their , superiors, opened fire on the rapidly retreat- \ ing mob. The mob fired as they retreated. | They were well armed. A regular pitched battle was fought on Third street. Bullets whistled in every direction. Chief Pritchell and Detective Newitt, who led the fight against them, made an effort to capture one of them, but the firing was so hot they were compelled to lie flat on the ground to escape death. The result of the battle was that Redman was killed where he was striken down with the sledge-hammer. Over two dozen balls entered his body.

It wafi at this place that David Murphy, • brother-in-law of the murdered woman, met his death. The mob was so intent on killing Redman that they fired helter-skelter through their own ranks. It was then that Murphy found his death. He was astride a gray horse, which started down Third street, with the remainder of the mob. When they left a half square from the scene Murphy reeled and fell. Pritchell and Newitt hurried to his assistance. He was carried into the Court House, and medical aid was summoned. A number of arrests have been made of parties suspected to have l>een connected with the Ivnching. Intense excitement prevailed for hours after the tragedy. Evansville, October 15.—The grand jury returned indictments to-day against the three men, McFadden, Floyd and Gill, members of the Mount Vernon mob, charging them with conspiring to commit murder. They were brought into court and released on lH)nds of SI,OOO each, prominent citizens of Posey county becoming their surety. They leave by to-night’s train for home, where an ovation awaits them. Posey county has signified that if Vanderburg will bring in her bill for damages done to the jail by the mob, it will be promptly paid, and no questions asked Affairs in general seem to be on the roa<l to final adjustment. Arrest of (onnteiTeiters. A large gang of counterfeiters was arrested in Tipton on the night of Oct. 11, and taken to Indianapolis the following day by the Sheriff of Tipton county. About a year ago a man named Hobbs gave information to the Secret Service of the existence of a gang of counterfeiters in Tipton county, and I a detective was sent there by the government to work up the case, which resulted in the arrest of the following parties under the direction of Special Agent Small: Jacob i B Masters. Christopher A. Masters. William Shope, Jacob B. Johnson, A. A. Smith. Jasper N. Wright, George King, James F. Small. Charles Boath, John T. Small and Lorenzc | Hawarth. These men were brought to this city Oct. 12, and lodged in jail. Several days ago Special Agent Rathoone and Detectives Pennock and Hobbs arrested Janies Campbell. Harvey Gerhaster and Thomas Crull, members of the same gang who were on a train going to Logansport. These men were brought to this city and kept secretly. John Keeling, a saloonkeeiierof this city, was also arrested. Most of the captives are residents of Tipton county. United States Marshal Foster and - the deputy sheriffs of Indianapolis assisted in making the arrests. Bank RobberyLebanon, Pa., October 12. — About 8 o’clock this evening George D. Rise, cashier of the Lebanon Dime Savings Bank, was robbed of a satchel coata’ning S W.oOO, all , in bills. He had just returned from Phila--1 de!nhia 4 jmd bef<?r p going to the hank

stopped at his house for supper. While on the way to the bank after supper, and when about a square from his house he was passed by two men and directly afterward received a stunning blow, knocking him into the gut ter. He held on to the satchel and cried “Murder!” The robbers, who had lieen beating and kicking him all the while, fearing his cries might bring assistance, moved off a short distance, but returned, and wrenching the handle off the satchel secured it Rise was covered with blood. It has been learned that the struggle between the cashier and the robbers was witnessed by George Pohr, who was passing along the street, but he thought it was a fight between a lot of drunken men. The robbers ran into a vacant lot near by, and were hailed by another citizen curious to know the cause of their hurry. There is no further clue. Rise has offered a reward of SI,OOO for the capture of the robbers. The money belonged to the bank. FRANKJAMES. His Return tn Missouri and Surrender to the Authorities. i The Bandit Lodge<l in Jail. The train from Jefferson City having on board Frank James arrived in Independence at 10:30 o'clock on the morning of October I. Fully three thousand persons were at the depot as the train pulled in. Mrs. Frank James, her four-year-old boy Bob, her father, Captain Ralston, and Mrs. Samuels had arrived and were prominent figures in the crowd. Among the first who stepped from the train was Farr, the Governor's secretary, and close behind him was a tall, slender man who, hastily jumping to the platform, threw his arms around Mrs. Samuel's neck, when she sobbed out, “My son, oh, my dear son.” The bandit prisoner then turned and embraced his wife, taking their little boy in his arms and pressing his way through the crowd until the 'bus at the extreme end of the platform was reached. The party at once took seats inside, accompanied by County Marshal Murphy and other officers. A huge crowd blocked the street all around, and many old acquaintances reached in through the window to shake hands with the prisoner. Frank kept his little boy on his lap. and his wife, who tat by his side, placed her arm around his waist. He kissed the child affectionately a number of times and talked to it in an undertone. Frank James is a surprise to those who did not know him. He is about six feet in height and weighs about 145 pounds, stoops and has a slightly hollow Ches’", His face is. thin. He has sallow and sunken cheeks, nose long and prominent, and eyes deeply set and gray in color. He wears a slightly drooping mustache, and bis In w.i hair is ra'her spare His forehead is high, hut narrow, and the temples are hollowed deeply. He was dressed in a black coat and vest anil light striped pants, with a black and white straw hat. He wore in the way (it jewelry a diamond pin and hair chain attached to a heavy gold watch. He looked liko a professional man inclined to consumption; like anything but a train robber. A vast crowd dined at the hotel expecting to see James, hut he baffled their curiosity by going to the dining room after many had eaten After dinner he gave a short reception in the parlor, talking freely to old friends, officers and members of the press. At 3 o'clock Marshal Murphy told him to prepare to lie locked up. This seemed a surprise to the bandit. He offered any amount of bail required, but as one of the warrants held by Marshal Murphy charges him with the murder of Chicago Detective Wichen, in 1874, bail was not allowable. When he found that he must go to jail the parting scene between the bandit and his family were quite affecting. He then followed Marshal Murphy and being led to a cell for the first time in his life to experience what it is to be behind prison bars. He willprobably remain in jail until the meeting of the November term of the Criminal Court in this city. Efforts are being made to secure as his attorney Colonel John F. Phillips, one of tlie ablest lawyers in Western Missouri. There are two indictments against James in this county—one for the murder of ' Wichen and one for the robbery of the Inde : pendence Bank in 1867. He is' also charged in the United States District Court with obstructing the United States mail at one of the Jackson countv train robberies. Besides this there is an indictment for the murder of Conductor Westfall and the robbery of the train at Winston in 1881, and indictments exist against him for crimes in other states. He evidently believes there cannot he found evidence to convict him, but officers here claim to have good witnesses here to prove his girilt. James has indited a long epistle to Gov. Crittenden, having for its object the exercise of leniency on the part of the Governor, should the matter hereafter come before him for executive action.

Garibaldi's Discipline. On one occasion an officer of his took a poor woman's horse from her ami gave her a receipt, which, of course, was quite worthless. She came in tears to Garibaldi; site had lost all she had. Garibaldi took the paper, had the officer summoned before him, and in the presence of his whole staff, while the weeping woman stood by, said: “Did you take this horse?” “Yes, General, I was forced to; I had lost mine.” “Did vou write this paper, which you know is worthless?” “Yes, General.” Then, turning to his aid-de-camp he said: “Restore the horse to this poor woman,” ami. tearing np the paper with a withering look at the offending officer, he added : “Is this the way that Italians fight for the freedom of their country? Be no more soldier of mine!“ and he sent him back to Rome. A hotel cook a. Newport served a dinur-v m six courses, the other day, the material for each and every yoursg being lobster.

SUGGESTIONS OF VALUE. To whiten ivory knife handles and piano keys wash them in a strong solution of soda-water. To brighten a zine bath-tub throw in a handful of salt and a little vinegar, and scour with a flannel cloth. To prevent the color in stockings from running, soak them for four or five hours before washing in alum water. The unpleasant odor produced by perspiration may be destroyed by placing ammonia in the water when bathing. Two or three pounds of sulphate of iron dissolved in a pailful of water is a good disinfectant and will destroy all offensive odors. To smooth wrinkled silk sponge it well on the right side with weak gumarabic water and iron on the wrong side between two cloths. The best time to gather herbs for winter use is when the plants are in I flower, but they should be harvested when the flowers begin to fade. To clean moire or gros-grain ribbon dip it in a solution of ammonia and water, and wrap it tightly around a book or bottle and let remain until dry. Milk and warm water applied with a flannel cloth is very good for cleaning white varnished paint, which should never be cleaned with soap, as it turns it yellow. To remove wine and fruit stains mix two teaspoonfuls of water and one of spirits of salts and let the stained part lie in this for two minutes and rinse in cold water. To whiten and soften the hands use a mixture of two parts glycerine, one part ammonia and a little rose water. This is excellent, and once or twice using will produce the desired result. A handsome and yet simple, easilymade sofa-cushion cover is made of one square of satin; on this embroider a spray of flowers; it may be done with Kensington stitch and crewels or with the popular ribbon embroidery. Finish the edge with a cord or with fringed silk. Pretty and odd chair-backs are made of squares of linen and satin. This seems at first a strange combination, but the effect is excellent. Where the squares are joined, cover the seams with fancy stitches. The satin squares may be left without ornamentation, and all the work put on the linen ones. Embro’dery, or painting, or etching are the favorite methods employed. A pretty wall-splasher is made of white canvas embroidered in silk crewel in two shades of red or blue. The eSges are fringed and fastened to the wall by four bows of light and dark ribbon to match the work silk, placed one at each i corner. Toilet mats are made to match. A very pretty set is of deep gray crash, worked in a seaweed design, which borders the taWesiovcr and ends of ornamental towels, but appears in the center of toilet nuts and covers nearly the v hole of the splasher. Broken Promises. Borne one has quaintly said that promises, like pie crust, are made to be broken, and a general observation of the light regard in which they are held would indicate a truth in the saying. A sacred promise or a vow before the Lord, as it was called in ancient days, is surrounded with manifold obligations and ratified by solemn and binding j rules. But the light verbal promises, | by which we gain temporary respite from some unwelcome duty, or give as a slave to conscience, are ruthlessly j broken. And yet we pronounced the solemn and significant words, “I will,” as earnestly in wedding ourselves to the future as when we knelt before the marriage chancel. A certain doctor, who is famous for his tender care of sick children invariably promises each little patient, when life is at its lowest vital ebb, that as soon as it recovers and is convalescent it shall take a long ride in the country with him, and he details to the eager, attentive ear of the sick child the lovely scenes of nature which it is to see and enjoy. The child never forgets that promise; it hurries to be well enough to ride out with the kind doctor, who, of course has forgotten all about it; it is the initiatory lesson in distrust and sad disappointment for the little one, and the memory of it may rankle in the heart for life. The doctoi never knows how much harm he has done with his broken promise. If you would teach your child the value of truth never deceive. Keep the lightest promise made to it as religiously as you would keep a binding obligation, for in the purposes of life it is one. How often some housekeeper will have occasion to say to a friend, “You promised to spend the day with me and I expected you and staid at home ami cooked the dinner you liked, and you never came, and I was so disappointed,’ and the friend murmurs some ready ex cuse, but the truth is had forgotten all about it, or rather had not intended tc go and had merely promised as a pleasant method of response. Worldly wise people learn to distinguish the true from the counterfeit and give and receive on that basis, in which case it is merely diamond cut diamond, and no one is hurt. A closer regard for the minor promises would lead to a truer estimate of | the more important obligations which govern our lives. “His word is as good I as his bond!” is a high meed of praise ■ for any man. Broken promises have j done an immense amount of harm in I the world: they have bankrupted the | happiness of households, have ruined , lives and broken hearts; and yet they j wore often thoughtlessly made and their redemption as thoughtlessly for- | gotten. If we would atone for omis- I sions of our own in that respect let us 1 teach our children never to promise what they do not mean to fulfill, and to . consider a promise to visit a playmate 1 or to exchange toys as a literal obliga- ; tion. There are parents who never I neglect the promise of a Imx of candy, , a doll or a pleasure ride given to a i child. It is sale to predict (hat the cliildre'n of such parents will not go through life dealing in broken promises I or planting the seeds of moral dishonesty which must end in the ashes of Dead sea fruit.

bring the heart nearer to nature's laws. Mr. and Miss were seated at the foot of a century oak together reading Longfellow—his “Golden Legend” was the subject—when their attention was called to the strange actions of a bird that was flying in circles, lessening in each circle as it approached the ground. An investigation showed a snake coiled within a elump of bushes —a rattlesnake six feet long, with its fascinating gaze charming the bird to its deadly fangs. Nearer and nearer the bird approached the serpent, when with a spring it taught the bird in its fangs. This inctance proved the power of the snake so charm.— Americus Republican. Going For Bob. A writer in the Rural New-Yorker, Clem Auldon, is after Robert J. Ingersoll, for saying in his speech on “Farm Life as it Might be,” that it is not necessary in the present age for the fai me~ to rise in the middle of the night and begin his v ark. The man who joins the theologians in finding fault with the great orator says. There are three classes of farmers in this busy world of ours. There is the practical farmer who sows and reaps his crops for money; then there is the “fancy farmer,” who experiments for his own pleasure and the benefit of his neighbor; there is the professional man who doesn’t know anything about farming, but who is always ready at every agricultural meeting and county fair to make a little speech and give them lots of cheap advice. Robert Ingersoll is a smart man, and, like many other smart men he rides his hobbies and rides them pretty hard. He enjoys the reputation of being a very “funny" man, and when the fit comes on him it takes him like the cramp colic. He has to give it his entire attention. He “gets funny” at the expense of argument, and uses sarcasm as a substitute for reason; and it is quite probable that JRobert knows a’ great deal more about the other world and “orthodox perdition” than he does about farming. His remarks are calculated to throw cold water in the face of the energetic man who gets up in the morning, and it is safe to venture the assertion that any man who deprecates early rising for the farmer is either too lazy to work on the farm himself, or else he knows nothing about the business. The writer thinks the advice foolish ami pernicious, and adds: The coming generation of American farmers have enough “elevated” ideas and enough aversion to work, without being told that they should avoid early rising. Who are the farmers of thrift and enterprise ? Who are the shiftless, careless, three-handed farmers? Go through any wealthy farming community and see who own the tine houses and the good fences, and the large; ■■ well-stgred barns. if they surround themselves with comforts by lying abed in the morning! Look at tine farmer whose tools and machinery arte exposed to the weather, whose barn is old and rickety, whose fences have to have a prop to hold them up, and ask him if this was all brought about by his early rising? Where is the man who has fat, sleek horses, with good harness and good wagons? See if he doesn’t get up in the morning. Watch the. man who has round, plump cows and fine calves and gets more milk than his neighbors, and see if he keeps them penned up in the morning until the sun is two hours high. There are the chickens that want to be let out at daylight; there are the cows that want to be milked and turned out to graze before the sun has made the air hot; there are the horses that have been standing in the barn with empty mangers for several hours and w ant to be fed and have some time to eat before they are put in the harness. Ingersoll says: “When you get up at 4 and work till dark, what is life worth?” The man who gets up at 4 has his work done when evening comes, and then he has some time for enjoyment. It’s the man who lies al>ed in the morning that goes poking around with a lantern after dark. Any man can only sleep so many hours. Let him sleep those hours in the night, as fowls do, and get up in the morning as men should do. I have observed this thing a little, and am beginning to believe that the man who is continually objecting to early rising is in some sense a sort of a mean man.

Religion and Divorce. The Churchman says: “We have already called attention to a remarkable article by Dr. Bacon in the Princeton Review, on ‘Polygamy in New England.’ The writer shows with great clearness that the Mormons are not by any means the greatest offenders against social morality. The Puritans at the East have legalized, by their legislation respecting divorce, a principle which does not differ essentially from that which they are trying to root out from Utah. It is somewhat surprising that in all the discussion which has been going on about the evil of the present system of divorce in the United States, nobody has explained the origin of it. Dr. Bacon, Sr., —the father of the author of the article just referred to—wrote a book on “The Genesis of the New England Churches.” It would be well for some one to trace the genesis of the New England idea about marriage. It w ill be found that, even in its most repulsive and immoral phases, it is but the carrying out into practice of what the great Puritan. John Milton, taught. One needs only to read his famous “Tractate on Divorce” and to recall the fact that his influence upon the early thought and even in the legislation of New England was marked, in order to understand why modern Puritanism rivals Mormonism in its disregard of what the rest of the civilized world holds to lie the true doctrine of marriage. Milton sought to elevate liberty alxive law, and to make it a divine right. He therefore held that marriage was nothing more than a civil contract which either the husband or wife might break at will. In other words lie taught liberty of self-divorce. This goes far toward accounting for the fact that while New England has been until recently the most strenuous advocate of morality in general, and has legislated against even intemperance, i« has, at the same time, encouraged and fostered the loosest notions in regard to divorce.” Lamentation is the only musician that always, like a screech-owl, alights and sits on the roof of an angry man.— Plutarch.
